Playback Speeds (Downcast for iOS 2.8.26/Mac 1.1.5 and earlier)

Last Updated: Jan 29, 2015 07:42PM EST

For playback speeds supported by more recent versions of Downcast click here.

Downcast supports several playback speeds and allows a default speed to be set globally as well as per-podcast subscription. The podcast episode player view contains a play speed button that, when tapped, will cycle through all available playback speeds. Additionally, tapping and holding on the play speed button will present a list of available speeds for quickly selecting another speed.

Although each playback speed has a label, such as "2X", this label may not reflect the actual speed multiplier of that setting. Below are the actual playback speeds for each label.
